On April 1, 2014 around 3:30 pm; Liz Allard from the Mat-Su coalition called Aaron Simpson of ADEC requesting a representative from ADEC be present for an April 3, 2014 Community Discussion (7-8:30 pm) in Palmer.

Aaron responded that he would have to check with management

On April 2, 2014 around 10:30 am; Aaron left a message with Liz informing her that ADEC wouldn't be able to send a representative for the following reasons:

	1: Department must maintain objectivity during comment period
	2: Department doesn't assist commenters with developing specific comments
	3: Department wasn't given enough notice to organize a more generalized forum

Aaron also suggested that the best comments are directed towards the approval criteria and public comment procedures Alaska's state regulations.

On April 3, 2014 around 3:30 pm; Liz responded to Aaron's voicemail and asked if 18 AAC 50.542(d) and (f) were appropriate sections of the regulations for potential commenters to refer to. Aaron confirmed.
